TECHNICAL DATA
We can supply all spare parts for COLUMBUS machines manufactured up to 09-2020
We can supply cut to size SILICONE & RUBBER MEMBRANES
MACHINE CONSTRUCTION
Consists of a fully welded steel chassis that is torsion free to resist bending and twisting.
COMPACT / SOLID CORE LAMINATE WORK SURFACE
with air evacuation channels to quickly create a vacuum
ALUMINIUM WORK SURFACE
precision machined surface for all high temperature works up to 250°C
HEATING HOOD
Constructed of Aluminium sheet on aluminium frame with insulation
MEMBRANE FRAME
Quick change system enables different membranes, for different procedures, to be changed in approximately 10 minutes.
MEMBRANES
There are two options of membrane available for our machines, Silicone and Natural Rubber, they are interchangeable via our quick change system
DEEP DRAWING FRAME
A fully adjustable steel box frame to enable ‘one offs’ to be formed thereby using ‘just enough’ material to form your various finished products
VERTICAL OPERATION
The oil free pneumatic pistons rise & fall process enables precise placement of the ‘Heating Hood’ / ‘Deep Drawing Frame’ / ‘Membrane Frame’ over the work pieces whether they be shaped or flat – operated from the control unit using both hands for safety
HEATING DRAWER
One person operation easy roll out drawer with a 30mm x 30mm open steel grid to accept sheet products of 2550 x 1250 x 70mm or less (maximum size of the drawer)
VACUUM PUMPS
Universal Formers Pumps are BECKER rotary vane 100% oil free and maintenance free *(oil lubricated pumps can contaminate the work area, products and personnel with an ‘oil mist’) and benefit from very little servicing.
REMOTE CONTROL UNITS
Away from the heat & action, with SIEMENS touch panel (standard 9” extra 12”) enabling fully automated control of the ‘Heating Hood + ‘Deep Drawing Frame’ + ‘Membrane Frame’ + ‘Heating Drawer’ with manual override – the unit can be programmed with up to 99 saved individual manufacturing processes (999 on demand)
CONTROL UNIT
Control cabinet with SIEMENS touch panel for temperature control and heating time control for controlling the vacuum pump, the heating drawer and the travel movement of the membrane frame
CONTROL UNIT (CLAMSHELL)
Integrated control unit for controlling the vacuum pump
Vacuum control lever for vacuum generation and reduction
Pressure monitoring: analogue vacuum pressure gauge
CONTROL UNIT (VERTICAL)
SIEMENS Control cabinet with ‘pressing time’ & ‘vacuum pump’ & the travel movement of the membrane frame (vertical opening mechanism) capabilities
Manual Vacuum control lever for vacuum generation and reduction
Pressure monitoring: analogue vacuum pressure gauge
Updates: On demand with a vacuum tank, FESTO precise pressure control digital,
Extra programs: pressure and time in steps with SIEMENS touch panel
